New PCI card simplifies the
WiMAX adoption process
Ottawa, Canada -- Polonix Corporation, a global distributor of the ENTE
e!MAX series of WiMAX products, today announced general availability of
the world’s first WiMAX PCI card for personal computers (PCs) that run a
Microsoft Windows operating system. The cards deliver direct access to
WiMAX broadband Internet/Network services.
“The addition of this PCI card to the e!MAX series removes a major
barrier to entry for consumer adoption of WiMAX services,” said Damian
Pustelnik, CEO, ENTE Ltd. “The e!MAX PCI card can plug-and-play with any
PC running a Windows operating system, which means the ultimate promise
of WiMAX, broadband for the masses, has arrived in the desktop
environment.”
The e!MAX PCI card features a powerful WiMAX chipset from Wavesat, the
WiMAX industry leader, and it works for both line of sight and non-line
of sight communications. The card simply plugs into an open PCI slot, an
antenna plugs into the card, and broadband connectivity to an e!MAX base
station is achieved. The base station could be located at a service
provider’s facility or in/on any building within a radius of several
kilometers.
“Once again, ENTE has demonstrated its technology leadership status in
the WiMAX industry,” said Jan Jakubczyk, CEO, Polonix Corp. “ENTE is
developing and delivering products to market that people can actually
use, today and in the future. That’s why Polonix aligned with ENTE.”
WiMAX is the most cost-effective method for rapidly providing or
expanding high-speed Internet and network services within organizations,
communities and private dwellings. ENTE WiMAX solutions, from Polonix,
make it easy and affordable for large and small user groups to gain
access to the high-speed world, at a far lower cost per user than
alternative methods.
